Please increase your warning level for a story like that.
It is majorly uncool to have a reader leaking tears at work.
Great story but hit home in a major way. I have a son in the Marines now. Stationed in Okinawa and not likely to deploy, at least as a unit to either sandbox....but I worry.
I had to stop reading several times to re-compose myself at work.
Thank your son for me - and thank you for raising the kind of son who would be a Marine.
I'm on dial-up right now, but there is a large collection of photos that goes with the story; I have the whole thing saved on a disk at work. If you like I can email it to you, about a 10MB file.
For some reason the fed.gov thinks you're not smart enough to recognize my comments and opinions as just that. Or that people giving me free stuff would make for a better review. But to make a government paper-shuffler happy, here it is:

If you would email me I would appreciate it.
I figure my wife should read it also....she loves a great cry every now and then.
I'll pass on my thanks to T (my son) soon. He'll be home for the Christmas holidays.
He's a great kid, we are quite proud of him.
